News: Wizards Spoils Innistrad Event Decks

by Dredd77

If you haven’t seen them yet, head on over to today’s Arcana on the mothership for the strategy and decklists for Deathfed and Hold the Line! With a release date of 10/29, you can be certain we’ll be giving them the full Ertai’s Lament treatment!

i would agree on that assessment. Adding swamps in simply to flashback the Forbidden Alchemy and the spider card seems like something of a non-issue- you want the deck to play quickly, activating flashback isn’t that important when there are 12+ cards in the deck that fill the graveyard. Plus its always dissapointing when they give up two rare slots to a card that isn’t even in the set that the deck is supposed to be showcasing. Kessig Cagebreakers would have been just as on theme.

I loaded both decks online and the UBG one holds its own suprisingly well. The spider card is actually really good in the deck, much more so then at first glance. The white deck is exactly what everyone expected.
